But when he did, pretty much every person inside football circles aside from a handful of Roma players would tell you Capello made himself heard. Fabio had already won everything there was to win in club football as a coach in the nineties, and he could have even called it a day on that note.
He spent the first half of earning plaudits for his color commentary on football matches. Fabio had even earned the call of Madrid through his previous success in Europe with AC Milan in the early nineties, which saw the Rossoneri reach three consecutive Champions League finals and win one of them, while winning multiple trophies on the domestic front and even going undefeated for 58 straight games in Serie A under Capello it helped that Capello started the Milan job with no European fixtures to interrupt his mid-week training at the time.
So Capello was to balance his big-budget signings with the ability to promote generation-defending young talents, but all this to say: Capello arrived at Roma as a coach with the reputation for expensive tastes, and no expenses spared.
That was after a Real Madrid win—in only the second league game of the season! Such were the demands Capello placed on his team from the get-go. That sentiment goes double at a club like Roma, where players are idolized as either world-beaters or world-beaters-in-the-making. By going back to Roma, Capello was re-visiting another former club of his playing days.
That was a decade where Roma were recovering from major losses and, in a twist of irony, the expense of hiring megastar-coach Helenio Herrera meant the club were forced to balance the books by selling one of their best young players in Fabio Capello.
Three decades later, Capello was back and ready to find closure on a long-lost chapter of his footballing story. Now he was that megastar coach. Most of all, Capello was ready to prove you could break the Big Three hegemony in Italian football, by launching his most ambitious Scudetto challenge at a club like Roma.
Zinedine Zidane got the same treatment at the international level for France, Ronaldinho would later get the same treatment at both PSG and Barcelona. You still with us? It was a relief for everyone at the club then, when transfer consultant Franco Baldini won the good graces of both Franco Sensi and Fabio Capello in his short time working with the club.
But years of careless spending by Franco Sensi—performing at the club as his own sporting director prior to Baldini—meant the club was weighed down by misfits like Gustavo Bartelt and Fabio Junior.
While Franco Baldini began to inherit the sporting director role at the club, Roma were already forced to sell Paulo Sergio to Bayern Munich in to redress the balance. That meant Capello went into that season with Totti and Montella upfront and precious little backup on the bench. Marcos Assuncao was tasked with being the creator—and free-kick taker—to help launch Roma on the counter, but Assuncao flattered to deceive in his time at the capital club.
The Italian keeper was never spectacular for Roma especially not in the golden age of Italian keepers at the time but he was at least consistent and reliable. Neither defender found consistency in their performance and, coupled with an aging Aldair at the back, that meant Capello was far more conservative in the number of Roma players he would allow to break forward in attack. It was far more conservative football than Capello had shown in his Milan days. On the tactical side, Capello had previously shown himself a manager happy to let his Milan sides commit as many as eight players running forward to attack, as well as letting the libero defender Franco Baresi swap positions with one of the central midfielders while Milan were on the ball.
He knew the overriding culture of AC Milan in the s was one where they were used to using greater numbers in attacks to create easy, short-passing chances on route to goals. The only major tweak Capello had ever made to that Milan dynasty was to ask them to use the offside trap less aggressively. Capello restricted his Roma side to commit a maximum of five players in attack if he was feeling generous while using the re-inforced steel of his hard-working midfield to shield the defense.
Both to Zanetti and many other Roma players that year, which meant an underwhelming 6th-place finish in Serie A for the season. Changes were needed in the culture surrounding the club if Roma were really going to mount a title challenge for the season. Capello will be the first person to admit that a coach or specifically an antagonistic, results-driven coach has a limited window of time to galvanize a club and dressing room behind his mandate.
If you go with the general thinking that a coach needs three years—but no more—to really shape a team in his image, then Don Fabio had already used up one of them on what was mediocrity by his high standards. Accordingly, Capello's influence really started to extend beyond the pitch in the summer of , molding perhaps the most tight-knit coaching staff that A.
Roma has ever seen. In their view, the old rooms were more convenient to go directly to the dressing room. I replied that the new rooms were better because they were air-conditioned. Then came the changes to training and player recruitment. Roma knew they had to tackle their injury problems if they were to march up the table, and Capello solidified a mix of old and new loyalists within his inner circle at the club.
Capello had already brought assistant manager Italo Galbiati with him, from their days together at Milan and Madrid. Franco Baldini was given more and more responsibility by Capello to go out and find the transfer targets needed to take Roma to the next level.
Neri had previously worked at the club under former Roma manager Carlo Mazzone but soon chose to follow Capello wherever the latter went. If you ever played Championship Manager as any club other than Roma, then you knew it was damn hard to try and entice any one of Galbiati, Neri, or Tancredi away from Roma.
There wasn't any more silverware waiting for Capello when he went back to San Siro, but that changed the following season when he swapped Milan for the Italian capital with AS Roma. Capello spent a total of eight years with England and Russia, appearing at back-to-back World Cups before spending one final season in club management with Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning, going on to announce his retirement in While Capello might be remembered by a certain generation for the latter stages of his career, the Italian was a pioneer for Calcio fans across the world and one of the first managers to come out of Bel Paese to taste success wherever he went.
